The image depicts a majestic scene of a powerful, bearded figure resembling a divine being, radiating light from behind clouds. He extends his hands toward icy cliffs, pouring streams of golden energy that appear to melt the ice into cascading waterfalls. Below, the text reads, “God melt Ice,” with the word “God” glowing warmly and “Ice” rendered in a frosty blue style.

The longest intermission in movie history is just about over… Please return to your seats!
I love how tributes to Alice Wong are coming from the cross disability community… We need to work more together and honor one another! #AllMeansAll @sfdirewolf.bsky.social
“Advocacy is not just a task for charismatic individuals or high-profile community organizers. Advocacy is for all of us; advocacy is a way of life. It is a natural response to the injustices and inequality in the world.”
Alice Wong , Disability Visibility:
I don’t know what there will be a service to honor @sfdirewolf.bsky.social or not… But if there is, I would hope there’s a way for me to go to an in person. And honor her… but if not, I hope we can have an online memorial.
I’ve got to take me a walk in a little bit and think about Alice… But also realize that we’ve got to pick up the mantle even more.
Rest in power, Alice… We will pick up the mantle from here!

This image is a humorous meme featuring Velma from the animated series Scooby-Doo. Velma is depicted on her hands and knees, searching for her lost glasses—a classic scene often associated with her character. The overlaid text reads, "My subtitles. I can't hear without my subtitles..." This is a playful joke comparing the reliance on subtitles while watching shows to Velma's dependence on her glasses to see, highlighting how many people feel they "can't hear" well without subtitles because they’ve become so used to them.
The image features a bold, white text on a solid black background. The text reads: "Mourning is okay... but fight like heck at the ballot box!"

Every home should be designed for total accessibility since, over time, all residents may need it. Creating spaces that accommodate future needs is essential.

I’m not certain… but in the United States, the rest of protection of medical privacy under a HIPAA… and even if there is no medical record. A lot of people like myself believe that they are on the spectrum because of certain things that they’ve learned about autism… I have other disabilities too so
35 years ago today, this happened in disability history! #CapitalCrawl youtu.be/1DAeJdoXewU?...
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Shame.
Let's do better
Naming names so you can call them if they are your rep and let them know this ain't it:
Rep. Al Green stated, "you have no mandate to cut Medicaid," reacting to the misrepresentation affecting millions. Ten Democrats joined in censure against him. How can we save Medicaid if we can't even support someone brave enough to speak the truth?
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.
